Yep. Two very decent results.

Unfortunately, Jay has just lost the first set of his match.
But it was in a tie-break so close and all to play for....

A couple of nice wins for Ed and Tom. Pity for Jay but he will still inherit the GB #5 spot from Evo on Monday week, well at least he will if Ed doesn't go on to win the title here.

An Instagram post from Jay suggests that he thought he was a bit unlucky today.

Keep doing the good work, Jay.

As has been quite often said in the past, a well known repeat being by Gary Player, "the harder I practice, the luckier I get".
